Confirmation when spending gems.

[MorellaCarter]

I know this has been suggested before, but I think it needs to be brought up again. During the last couple of days I've spent 260 gems that I absolutely did not want to spend. 200 gems gone after checking how many gems it cost to finish a book and my computer thinking I was clicking when I was moving the mouse (I play on a laptop) and another 60 after removing troops from the barracks queue and all of a sudden it jumped to the top.

I think it's quite ludicrous that we have a confirmation button for deleting empty wheat fields and wells but none for spending gems. I understand that they want us to spend gems, but on the other hand I'm sure a lot of people feel like me who would never spend real money on the game when there's a risk I might accidentally spend them on something I don't want.

Because of this, I would like to suggest a confirmation button for any gem spending.

The official line is "the button worked as intended"

Look at the date of the first request on the thread, won't be happening soon will it.

Indeed. I don't see this being a priority for them.
The only place I tend to get burned is on active specialists - instead of closing the window I click on the green arrow out of habit and before thinking about it. I am completely aware it's totally my fault but I would like it if a "are you sure you want to spend x gems" window popped up.

Joining in with lordloocan as well: It's been suggested for years now, in this thread and others, and while it is still necessary to confirm you do want to demolish an exhausted wheat field most of the 'spend gems' options have nothing similar. So yep, doesn't seem like it'll be Coming Soon even it would be awfully helpful.

Clicking the green tick on active specialists costs no gems, all it does is close the window.

Clicking the =clock:2 button costs gems and has no confirmation pop-up, though it could use one.

hmmm
I'm going to trust you on that one since I can't confirm right now.... but I was pretty sure that the checkmark did what was implied by the cost indicator and gems were used... perhaps it was just me but I hesitate to experiment too much (I hate wasting gems).

Thanks for the input

Hi,

my elite barracks window was open and I accidentally clicked on the button "Instant complete for". As a result I spent more 360 gems which I hadn't intended to spend. Please introduce a confirmation window to prevent this from happening!
Thanks

Sometimes I click on an explorer/geologist while they are active and no confirmation of gems spent there either. I have no problem with things available to spend gems on but every one should have a confirmation window.

While I'm thinking about it, I think clarity when demolishing a building could be improved also. The confirmation window that shows you the resources you will recover should have the name of the building that is being destroyed. I've almost cause myself extreme pain by not being on the right building.

When looking at the quest book and the guild quest, there is an option to pay with gems.

as with many other things when there is an option to for example demolish a building a popup asks us if we are sure we wish to do that.

sadly that popup doesn't exist in the guild quest instant finish with gems options. you press it and it's .. well finished.

What i suggest is such a window, just in case some one (not saying lilla that would be embarrassing) by accident clicks on the instant finish by gems.

so to conclude

when pressing the gem button to instantly finish the guild quest, a popup should appear to ask if I am certain i wish to do so

thank you for reading
